Gardens police: Woman used fake prescription, may be part of fraud ring

Palm Beach Gardens police arrested a woman at a pharmacy Tuesday night after she tried to fill a fake prescription for Codeine syrup.

According to police, the woman, identified as De’amesha Green, 20, of North Lauderdale, could be working as part of a fraud operation that obtains fake prescriptions from a West Palm Beach medical office and then sells the drugs.

When questioned by officers, Green said there was a man waiting for her outside in a red Chrysler who goes by the name “Ive.” The man allegedly takes her to pharmacies with fake prescriptions and pays her about $50 to fill them, according to a police report made public Thursday. It did not indicate that officers arrested anyone else with Green on Tuesday night.
